I think you'll be fine. Can you think of any words that have 'jj' in
it? That's why we pick that mapping. If you picked, say, 'oo', then
every time you typed the word 'book' or 'school', you would exit insert
mode, which is clearly not the desired behavior. 'jj' is picked because
it should rarely, if ever, come up in normal typing.
